I assume that the rimis out of focus due to vibration. Neat action shot.

This looks very pixelated in places. I'm wondering ifyour software program does somethign when you resize the image. It's a good idea to capture your ball in flight, but the compsition may have been more interestig if you incorporated the rule of thirds (ROT). WHile ROT doesn't always apply, it probably would have enhanced this image. The viewer needs to have something starting from teh right or left corner to draw the eye into the movement.

The title is rather redundant. And I wish the rest of the shot, other than the moving ball, was crisper. Can't fault you for the great timing though!

This is good, but I thinki it would be better with a little deeper DOF so that all the net was in focus too.

This is almost perfectly lit. I like the fact that there is reduced detail in the dark hat, yet there is some detail in the shirt. I also like the reflections in the glass, as I think they really add some depth to the picture. The detail on the paneling probably looks great on your wall, but just isn't helping this otherwise great shot as it distracts from the subject.

Ummm, it's a relection,not a shadow :-)...

Nice portrait though, I would have tired to get less light on the wall, as it competes quite a bit with your model, either that or try for a very shallow DOF. Go further back, zoom in and use the largest appeture you can... Lesss light on the wall would have enhanced the relection as well.
